Besides, surprisingly enough, Nabari no Ou is not the gayest series in there (although it's not really that gay to begin with). That honor belongs to Kuroshitsuji, which is about a demon butler and his shota master, in which one chapter made it seem that they were having sex. No joke.

>>10969493Think about how Pico's portrayed. Innocent, vulnerable, effeminate, slender, puffed up nipples the size of bottlecaps and squeals like a little girl whenever someone so much as touches his shoulder.

Which of those aren't appealing to straight men? The penis is just there as an afterthought.

>>10969525Yeah, except the entire time I'm fapping I'm thinking, "OMG I want to suck his cock and make him squirm!". Kind of makes the whole "He looks just like a girl, I'm still straight" gestalt harder to sell.

>>10969678I was sufficiently primed by browsing 4chan to be able to enjoy Boku no Pico without worrying about such questions as sexuality. Now I fap to traps all the time. I think I might be developing an advanced case of the gay though, because a few days ago I saw a boy I thought was cute, and I caught myself fantasizing about him the way I would when I look at a hot girl.

You're basically just saying that it comes down to what kind of action you prefer. And I agree, Macross' fights are awesome.

But so were Soul Eater's! I actually watched her first fight about 5 times and then tried to pause it frame for frame. The animation is superb and from what I can tell there are a ton of frames. Her footwork constantly changes, she spins the scythe in a ton of different directions and the camera moves around in a way that makes the fight seem really dynamic. All of this within a few seconds time.

I don't know that the rest of Soul Eater's fights will be able to live up but the first one was really good.

>>10970190good fights and style is not a better show makes. When it'll come down to it, NnO will win over SE in terms of story provide if the anime adaptation doesn't fuck up. Soul Eater was a shit mango that I have doubts Bones can salvage it.

Also, Macross will be the one everyone will remember in ten years' time.

Soul Eater? Just another Shonen. Fifty episodes, some nice fight scenes but still exactly what it says on the tin. Busou Renkin was awesome when it came out, and everyone on /a/ remembers it now, but some back in 2016 and nobody will have even heard of it.

However, when Macross F was announced, everyone instantly knew it'd be good, and a fair few of us had already seen every series of if and the movies.

>>10970471I must admit, I liked Zero even though it was a departure from the norm and the poor CG art direction.

>>10970451The point im making is that in the anime, there is the risk of it being labled as mediocre because people like myself (who didnt read the mango) only identify with the generic themes involved, of which there are alot.
